      OK, best payload initiation vectors. Eg. DOC Macro, Excel Macro, HTA, VBS, JS, SLK, What else...?

      Wasn't there a flaw where the contents of a VHD file downloaded from the Internet didn't receive the Mark of the Web?

      Can anybody name a single security product that scans VHD or VHDX contents? Given that Windows doesn't apply the Mark of the Web (MOTW) to VHD(X) contents, and Win10 can open them with a double-click, this seems like an excellent vehicle for deploying evil.

      Indeed. So go ahead and put a DOC Macro, Excel Macro, HTA, VBS, JS, SLK inside of a VHD(X) file to avoid both scanning on the wire, and also any protections gained via MoTW, such as SmartScreen, Microsoft Office Protected View, etc.

      I wonder what the (rough) size of the smallest viable payload-ready VHD(X) is

      When I was playing around with EICAR in a VHD, I tested with as small as 1MB in size. Maybe with trickery they could be made even smaller. But I suspect that in many cases the VHD can be not too much larger than the payload itself.

          Ah, I see - just as a raw container, not as a self-contained OS instance. Interesting. So an additional component would tap the payload from within the image, and/or user prompts to do so. Iiiiinteresting.

          Starting with Windows 8, a VHD or VHDX file can be double-clicked and opened in Explorer as if it were a ZIP container. At this point, you're relying on the user to not do something unwise. Without any of the MoTW-based protections.
